This site documents the Faq-O-Matic. The Faq-O-Matic is a CGI-based system
that automates the process of maintaining a FAQ (or Frequently Asked Questions
list). It allows visitors to your FAQ to take part in keeping it up-to-date.
A permission system also makes it useful as a help-desk application,
bug-tracking database, or documentation system. Jon wrote an article about the FAQ-O-Matic that appeared in the USENIX ;login: newsletter: http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/1998-6/faq.html.

This documentation itself is, naturally, maintained with Faq-O-Matic.
Hence the weird title. If you see anything that can use updating, please
do fix it! If you just want to play around, check out the Playground.

The Users' Guide tells new users what a FAQ-O-Matic is, how to read it, and how to contribute to it.

The Administrators' Guide tells FAQ administrators how to download, install and maintain a FAQ-O-Matic. If you want to start your own FAQ-O-Matic, look here.

The Playground is a place where anyone can experiment with
the FAQ-O-Matic by creating their own answers.

The Faq-O-Matic was principally authored by Jon Howell. I have received
suggestions and patch contributions from many others; grep the code for
'THANKS' and check out the Version History to find the attributions.
